Why you have to flash it yourself? Just bring your phone to service centre and its free to upgrade firmware !
Posted by Bogus Jimmy
If you're looking for a "condom case" for a T610, try ebay. You'll be able to get one for under $10. I got one for my girlfriends T610 coz she's a bit of a clutz with her phone.

I love my T610 very much..........too bad that there's only silver T610 available here in Aussie.....would be good if SE launch the blue and red T610 here !

Hallo all, Sydney member here, round Parra area to be more specific. Have a T68i, MCA-20, and HBH-60, very happy with the whole SE kit after having 3 Nokias previously
While I'm here, anyone got any ideas on where I can go to get spares for SE phones? My volume slider thing has fallen off the side of my phone and it's annoying me quite a bit now.

Well, better take it to service centre for fix then......they should have replacement parts ! And if your phone still under waranty, they may do it free for u !
Posted by doohan
Hey Simon how are u? Yes there is a service centre which is called fonebiz. They are located on the Princess hwy in Rockdale. Contact number is:9556 2088. They are an arthorized Sony Ericcson Service centre. I have both my t68i and P800 flashed there. However... i was unsuccessful with the firmware upgrade with my girlfriends T610 (Vodaphone) handset. I might try plan B now and remove the logo off the front and the back as i have read elsewhere on this forum that it has been successfully done.
Let me know if u have any problems....
Seeya!!

On the Gold Coast
just bought my first SE phone - t610 - after a decade of Nokias, the last of which was a 7650 which died a major death !
kinda like the T610 but think there's a way to go before it's the perfect phone (ho hum)... but, it's the best of the bunch at the moment (if the 7650 had Bluetooth though, I'd never have switched)
Posted by Angus
Quick gday from me too...
Just bought two T610's. I am a web nerd from way back. About to make the switch to coding sites for phones...
I run heaps of sites ranging from porn to ecommerce so will be interesting to see the uptake on mobiles over the next few months...
Ive been waiting for wap 2 for ages to start being sold on phones... Down with shitty .wml - go xhtml mp

Anyone upgraded from T68i to T610?Any advantages/disadvantages?We Aussies more fussy bout our specs/features...LOVE my T68i !Aesthetic responses invited too.
Posted by caff
I upgraded from T68i to T610 and absolutely love it ! Its a great improvement over T68i, sure you will love it..........btw, I think T610's price is reallly attractive, but make sure you don't get the vodafone live T610 as it has ugly icons and customise stuffs !
Posted by Aussie Blue Boy
@Caff: thx for tip re V-fone, wdnt touch em anyway.Presently njoyn 2 mths free GPRS w Optus - downloaded 120Mb so far!!!Any specifics re 68/610?Thought MCA-25 'real' view finder wd still be more effective than trying to line up tiny shiftin LCD...

Great..seems more and more Aussies are now owning SE phones, esp T610 which is such a great phone !
Posted by benixau
or like me - just trying to get out of our telstra contract with a T68i so we can go over to AAPT and get a T610 for $10 more/mnth.
But yes - I have so far convinced five people to move over - all on T100s i'll admit but its a start. None of them want a nokia again now - funny bout that ....
Posted by d-_-b

Hey Guys,
Just got my T610 a couple of days ago - after having a 2year stint on the darkside with a 3310 (prior to that I had a 337, 768, and a T28s)
The phone is awesome, great battery life, but it shows fingerprints so easily
and the screen is bad in sunlight, but I'll live with it coz the rest of it is so damned sexy!
Only problem is I can't get email to work over GPRS. I am on AAPT and it's been enabled, but I've entered 3 different POP email accounts and none of them work
All come up with "Server Not Found". I've even resorted to putting a DNS server into the AAPT WAP GPRS Profile - no joy. Any other AAPT users out there by any chance?
Hoping to pickup a cheap Bluetooth USB Adaptor for the PC this week too, so I can upload some new pics and tunes

anyone using bluespoon in Australia?
Posted by whytoi
AAPT Prepaid does not support GPRS. I am not sure if you are on postpaid or what. Remember also that AAPT uses Voda's network.
Posted by Simon
Aussies, just thought I would pass on that I had my phone upgraded to R8A015, and got a couple of other little issues fixed (volume slider and keypad was worn out) at a place in Parramatta called Mobilefonerepair.com. Took the phone in, they said it would be about an hour, and indeed it was, keypad cost me 5 bucks but software upgrade and volume slider were both under warranty. I would recommend them if you're anywhere near here and need any work done

Hey all,
I've had my Ericsson T39m for almost two years now, its out of warranty and the phone is playing up majorly. The signal is hardly ever present, occassionaly it comes back to full strength and allows me to make a call, but usually what happens is that there'll be 2-4 bars for signal strength, but the moment i try dialling, it drops out, and the only way to get a signal back is to restart the phone.
Any clues on whats doing this? I had the same problem with the phone when it was about 10months old and had it replaced with another one under warranty, now this one is again about 10months old and doing the same thing..am i doing something wrong?
Anyhow..
Im in the market for a new phone, I'm looking at a T610 (can get one off eBay for $457) or maybe even a P900 depending on the price it gets released at.
Where are some good sites within Australia to look for phones?
I've found so far:
http://www.stop.com.au
http://www.ow.com.au
http://www.discountmobiles.com.au
Would it be worth continuing this thread just to list URL's?
Cheers

Anyone know when the P900 will be on sale here in Australia?
Posted by caff
P900 would release here around January 04 according to

i work at a vodafone/B mobile shop ... so ill let u guys know on updates or when its avialble form the manifactures!!!!!

Can you get us one cheap?
Posted by Bogus Jimmy
I never knew it existed, but I just thought I would try it and it worked. There is an Australian version of Expansys! At first I was very excited because from what I've read on this forum, expansys is a very good place to deal with because they had good prices and always have items available very quickly.
I am assuming that the site is not properly set up yet because the prices are all messed up (and not in a good way) because everything is extremely expensive eg P800 for $2100 and T610 for $1600!! Also every product on the site is "Sold Out". The only good thing I can find is that the shipping is very cheap ($0.00 everywhere is Australia) but they'll probably fix this up when they actually have some stock to sell.
I'll be watching this site with interest because once they get their act together, it might be my new place to buy all my stuff (atm I get most of my accessories from P800er.com).

I've been keeping an eye on Ebay for SE phones of late, and There was this one that struck out at me:
Sony Ericsson P900 and P800 brand new!!!
Anyway I contacted the seller by email and got told that I can make a purchase outside Ebay. P900 for AUS$400, or P800 for AUS$300.
I asked if this could be arranged through Ebay's BUY IT NOW Facility.Sorry no can do, i could however arrange a Western Union Transfer and have it shipped through Fed Ex out of Hong Kong.
They may as well have asked me to send them cash!
Be warned fellow Aussies using Ebay. Always use Ebay to buy from and its worth spending more to use Paypal if not a direct deposit into a local bank (that is easier to trace the owner to).

Hey, Bogus Jimmy, looks like you were right!
This is from the UK Expansys web site today...
17th Nov Australia Coming Soon ...
We are pleased to announce that from the 1st December we will be launching our new Australian office - which will dramatically improve shipping costs to that region.
